Let me try to boil this down.

Bernardo: Non-fundamental representational existence is determined by the fundamental attributes of the will, which is itself determined just by what it is. Existence is what it is. The will is not free.

Chris: The fundamental attributes of the will and existence only exist when they are instantiated. This requires both fundamental attributes and non-fundamental values coupled together. There is thus freedom after all via the selection of these values, and rather than being dualistically separated, “non-fundamental representational existence” is really the self-instantiated attributes of the will.

Did Chris get axed from Patreon?

Yes, and the same day my Mega Foundation page was also deleted. They said we broke their terms of service, but when pressed, could not provide an example of a violation. We never received a warning or any violation whatsoever. Plus kept the money for that month thus far- 7k - and didn't refund patrons. Nice buisness model Conte has. We're not dropping it. I'm making a video, don't worry. I have a lot to talk about! We'll probably sue Patreon.

Perhaps you do not need any assistance, but the Patreon case against Owen Benjamin, mediated for the unauthorized.tv group headed up by Vox Day might be instructive for you folks, they beat Patreon under similar circumstances.

Actually, their circumstances were quite different. Here are a few points: Owen actually received multiple warnings prior to his deplatforming. They deplatformed Chris for "using Patreon to fund an off-platform project that promotes hate-speech" against a "protected group". They could/would not produce an example of the hate-speech or identify the project or the "protected group". I suspect "the project" was Gab, but there really is no hate-speech there against anyone but the parasites (read "protected class"). They also deplatformed his wife's page for their benign nonprofit for the same nebulous reason. Additionally, since the OB fiaso, Patreon changed their terms of service to close that loophole. When we spoke to Vox Day about it, his response was simply, "don't bother"(?!). We do have an ace in the hole, however - and that's Chris. We'll follow up with a video soon!

Profoundly brilliant trisections, with amplified energy projected by Chris in the sowing of seeds of the promise that the CTMU is THE T.O.E., no exceptions. We shall see if the soil produces any fruit amongst the podcast host and his redundant- style rhetorical closed-minded other guest. I was chomping at the bit. God is the Alpha and the Omega. Period. We do not “stop” our work until the Finisher of our faith proclaims, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Chris showed once again that the malaise of academia is rooted in the removal of the Triune God from the minds of mere men claiming to espouse “surrender of soul/ego” and to flit about on their “arrival” in the philosophical world. How “painless and freeing” they must feel - when in fact, their Nirvana-hungry souls will come undone by a Babushka Doll - style removal of layers upon layers. May God reach their souls. Chris, God is smiling upon you.
